Scream Factory is Happy to Say ‘Jack’s Back’ on Blu-ray

Published

on

As we wrap up 2015, which has been a huge year for Scream Factory, the company continues to show no signs of slowing down announcing yet another title to hit shelves in early 2016.

On January 16, 2016, Scream Factory presents a tale of Jack the Ripper with Jack’s Back on Blu-ray + DVD combo pack, for the first time on either format. The taut mystery-thriller stars James Spader (The Blacklist, The Avengers: Age of Ultron) in one of his most thrilling early roles, alongside Cynthia Gibb (Death Warrant, Youngblood), with direction by Rowdy Herrington (Road House). Jack’s Back comes complete with new bonus features including interviews with Rowdy Herrington, Cynthia Gibb, producer Tim Moore and director of photography Shelly Johnson.

One hundred years ago, Jack the Ripper slashed his way through London’s red light district. Now, a modern-day maniac is honoring the event by mutilating L.A.’s ladies of the evening. Has Jack the Ripper been reborn? The police are stumped and the prostitutes of L.A. are scared. The only person with a chance of solving the murders has a problem of his own – he’s the LAPD’s number one suspect.

Special Features:

  • NEW High Definition transfer from the original negative
  • NEW audio commentary with writer/director Rowdy Herrington
  • NEW The Making of Jack’s Back – interviews with writer/director Rowdy Herrington, producer Tim Moore, actress Cynthia Gibb and director of photography Shelly Johnson
  • Theatrical Trailer
